This Is Fur Real: Say Hello To Singapore’s First-Ever Cat Furniture Design Show

We are not kitten you. Singapore will be hosting their first, cat-themed furniture design show during Singapore Design Week (SDW). Appropriately named 9 Lives, this exhibition is full of practical and aesthetically pleasing furniture for indoor cats.

Tan Chin Chin, the artist and entrepreneur behind 9 Lives, aims to inspire locals to think about how good design can benefit living conditions for cats and their owners alike, especially in crowded cities like Singapore. “As more Singaporeans adopt street cats and integrate them into their households, there is a growing demand for quality cat furniture.”

The furniture focuses on creating efficient furniture for small space living, as well as creating an open dialogue for cat owners and potential cat owners. A part of the proceeds will go towards Cat Welfare Society.
